Facial Recognition Binocular Systems (FRBS) for identity Operations

NOTICE OF PROPOSED CONTRACT ACTION (NOPCA/SOURCES SOUGHT) Facial Recognition Binocular Systems (FRBS) for identity Operations. This is not a solicitation.

U.S. Army Contracting Command - Fort Belvoir, 10205 Burbeck Rd, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060 intends to award on a sole source basis a firm-fixed-price contract for a follow-on contract to purchase ten (10) additional systems from the original equipment manufacturer of the FRBS. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334112 - Computer Storage Device Manufacturing.

The proposed contract action is for the purchase of ten (10) additional systems in support of the field requirements for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source IAW 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(2), Unusual and Compelling Urgency as implemented by FAR 6.302-2.

The Army's urgent need precludes use of Full and Open Competition procedures to satisfy this requirement. Stereovision Imaging, Inc. is the only vendor known to the Army to be capable of performing, since, as the OEM, it has the required knowledge, expertise, and complete data to do so.

If a firm believes it is capable of meeting the Government's requirement, it may identify their interest and capability to the Contracting Officer, Ms. Jennifer Elkins at Jennifer.w.elkins.civ@mail.mil and Contract Specialist, Ms. Tiffany Fields at tiffany.n.fields.civ@mail.mil by 4:00PM EDT, 20 September 2016. Those interested firms must indicate whether they are a large, small, 8(a), small-disadvantaged,  or women owned business and whether they are U.S. or foreign owned. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement.
